Phenotypic plasticity in the productions of virulence factors within and among serotypes in the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex

2021-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> The <italic>Cryptococcus neoformans</italic> species complex (CNSC) is a common opportunistic human fungal pathogen and the most frequent cause of fungal meningitis. There are three major serotypes in CNSC: A, D, and their hybrids AD, and they have different geographic distributions and medical significance. Melanin pigment and a polysaccharide capsule are the two major virulence factor...
